Pasadena sounds great except I won't be able to make it. Don't postpone on account of me though especially if most of you can go. I'll just see you all next time.

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it. I figure we'll have to do another gathering before the end of the year so you and Chaddy can make it.

I did notice that the tape on bottom of the packaging for the Ewoks and one of the Imperial sets looked like they'd been cut open with a razor, but everything looked intact. I'm not sure how common this will be, or if it's a fluke at the one store, but it seemed worth mentioning. (I know the G.I. Joe Ninja Combat Cruiser had a problem where every single one appeared to have had the tape sliced open and re-taped, which made me pass on it several times at first. I'm not sure if this is a sorta repeat of that.)

Good find. It's so weird when Hasbro cuts their tape and retapes, I think it's probably an instructions issue or something along those lines because it happens more often than it seems across the various Hasbro lines.

I'm down for any cuisine, but like Chux I'm not a seafood guy. I don't know Pasadena well enough to recommend jack squat though, beyond where we went last time. I hit Yelp but it wasn't all that helpful. We can also shoot for a little further east than Pasadena if anybody has a place they like.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

I don't mind driving further east to make things equitable. Hadn't we mentioned Clearman's on Rosemead at one point? That's further east. We could also go to a BJs or other chain place that has multiple locations to select one closer to our 909 brethren.

Well, the thing is that we were going to have a screen for the game, assuming the Dodgers don't choke tonight, but I think clearman's has a tube in the bar, and we can get burgers or something if we don't want to spend on steaks. So it's an idea.

Traffic on the west side kinda sucks on Saturday, but I have free parking at Disney if anybody wants to carpool.
